Frequently asked questions (archived on Jan. 23, 2023)
Reporting
Do we immediately report current retirees working after retirement with the 9005 or 9025 class codes?
Yes. Begin reporting on the first full pay period with a begin date on or after July 25, 2022, when the law went into effect.
How do I report if the law goes into effect during the middle of my pay cycle?
If the law goes into effect in the middle of your pay cycle, begin reporting on the first full pay period with a begin date on or after July 25, 2022, when the law went into effect.
What if my vendor can’t make the technical changes to accommodate the new law immediately?
Your records may suspend once ORS implements the changes. Manual edits to records may be necessary. It is advantageous for your reporting unit to implement the system changes as soon as possible to prevent future adjustments.
Contributions
Why am I still being charged UAAL on Detail 2 (DTL2) records submitted with a 9025 class code?
Once ORS implements the system changes, you will no longer be charged the UAAL and ORS will work to refund the contributions charged in error.
